There’s not much difference in Sheboygan-area brats compared to other brat makers in Wisconsin, with many relying on salt, pepper, and nutmeg as spices, with varying amounts of mace, garlic, sage, and ginger also sometimes added.

So don’t despair if you can’t find Sheboygan brats to cook, as you’ll be in the general ballpark with anyÂ quality pork or beef/pork bratwurst that you have on hand.

Frying Your Sheboygan Brats

You never “grill” Sheboygan brats, you always “fry” them.

Don’t break out the deep fryer just yet, though — in Sheboyganese it means exactly the same thing when it comes to brats, so yes, you’ll be grilling them and that’s how we’ll refer to the process for the sake of simplicity.
